This step is part of the traditional preparation for a mutton Keema Recipe, as described in the instruction: Pyaas Bhunna: Ek pan ya karhai mein oil garam karein aur usme bareek kati hui pyaas daal kar golden brown hone tak fry karein.
  2. Add Aromatics: Put in the ginger-garlic paste and chopped green chilies. Fry for 1 to 2 minutes until the raw smell goes away.
    Add Mutton Keema: Add the minced mutton into the pan. Break up any lumps with a spoon and fry it well on medium-high heat for 5 to 7 minutes until it changes color and releases its natural water.
    Spice it Up: Lower the flame and add red chili powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, and salt. Mix all the spices well with the meat and cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
  3. Add Tomatoes & Yogurt: Add the chopped tomatoes and whisked yogurt. Stir well, cover the pan, and let it simmer on medium-low heat for about 10–12 minutes so the tomatoes soften and the mutton keema cooks in its own juices.
